List three strategies teachers can use to maintain engagement for students with varying interests and learning styles.
Differentiated activities, real-world applications, collaborative learning
Identify three characteristics of inquiry-based learning that make it student-centered.
Encourages problem-solving, promotes exploration, allows students to construct their own knowledge
A teacher notices some students dominate discussions while others remain silent. Should she allow the discussion to continue naturally or intervene with structured participation strategies? Explain your reasoning.
The teacher should intervene with structured participation strategies, such as assigning turns or small-group discussions, because this ensures all students have a voice, promotes fairness, and maximizes learning for everyone.
Explain how a supportive learning environment encourages risk-taking and creativity in students.
By making students feel safe to express ideas and make mistakes without judgment.
A teacher wants to improve students’ critical thinking skills but notices that standard quizzes only test recall. What type of assessment should she use instead, and why?
She should use performance-based or project-based assessments because they require students to analyze, evaluate, and apply knowledge, which better develops and measures critical thinking skills.
